Kidnapping the Hero Party

Chapter 55

55. Sick Mister! Let’s take care of uncle! (One)

after returning home.

When I got to my room, I immediately fainted and fell on the bed.

The reason is excessive bleeding and magical exhaustion.

The reason was the blood flowing from his eyes and the mana he used excessively.

‘… It’s like the children took care of me while I was unconscious.’

When I touched the area around the eyes, all the blood was gone.

I couldn’t change my clothes, and I only took off my outerwear.

I roughly changed into my dressing gown and walked toward the mirror, staggering from numbness.

“More than that, when the eyes become like this… It will take some time to adjust.”

He lost one eye, and his senses were not intact.

For the time being, you need to take a break for the adaptation period.

Violent movements are also prohibited.

With that thought in mind, I checked the mirror.

“… It’s ugly.”

left.

There was an empty hole where my black eyes should have been.

It was so ugly that it made even a crying child stop.

‘Left eye. It’s fortunate.’

There is a thing called ‘primary eye’, which is mainly used for eyes, just like left-handed or right-handed people.

My main eye is my right eye, so I was fortunate to have my left eye gone.

“Still, it’s still inconvenient, but it’s a shame because I saw that the left eye definitely disappeared as Minerva responded…”

If other important parts had disappeared, I would never have used it.

The left eye was enough to devote to the extinction of the Demon King.

spit out such a small grunt.

I wore a black leather eye patch on my left eye.

It was an ordinary eye patch, not an artifact.

“…I’m going to have to get a good eye patch, but rather than that, I’ll have to wear an eye patch unconditionally in front of children.”

The sight of having a deep hole in the eye will cause disgust.

I must wear an eye patch in front of children.

So, wear an eye patch.

As usual, to prepare the children’s food, I opened the door and headed to the kitchen.

kiik-

There was a child waiting for me at the door.

“…Hare?”

“Ah, uncle…! Hey, are you awake…? Joe, good morning…!”

Have you not slept properly?

Hare greeted me at the door with sleepy eyes.

There were dark dark circles under the eyes.

‘Have you been sleeping… ?’

The moment I had such a question, Hare took my hand and said cautiously.

in a way that seems to support me.

“Hey, it’s hard to walk…! Ah, Mister…! I’ll take you to the kitchen…! Oh, you’re a patient…”

“…”

zero-zero-

Are you treating me like a patient just because I don’t have one eye?

… To be honest, the patient is right.

It’s like being treated like an old man who can’t walk properly.

Hare’s intentions weren’t bad, but…

‘For no reason, I feel like a burden to the Hero party.’

Feeling my pride hurt, I let go of Hare’s hand.

widely-

“Ahhh…”

Hare let out a sigh.

I said in a tone that said nothing.

“It’s okay hare. I can walk alone. Look, I can walk alone.”

“Yes, yes…”

squishy-

Hare lowered her head like an abandoned puppy.

‘… Was it too heartless?’

In the midst of that thought, she walked after me, worried that I might fall.

That moment.

thud-

“ah.’

“Ah, mister…!! Gwa, are you okay…!?”

… Was the wall originally here?

Since my left vision was blind, I lost sight of the wall for a moment.

“Uh, how… This, a wall like this… Mo, you can’t avoid it… whoops… ”

Hare shed tears from her eyes, probably feeling sorry for me.

“Huh… Mister… You were so strong… Well, is it because we’re weak…? If we were strong, those eyes would still be there… Huh…”

“…Don’t beat yourself up, Hare.”

“That, but oh… Well, if we didn’t become a burden… If we were the help of the old man… Joe, wouldn’t it be a little different… Shi, I want…”

help.

Hare was blaming herself for being silent in the situation.

with a shocking sound.

“Eh, if I could give you my eyes… I-I’m willing…”

“…don’t ever think that way, even if you give it to me, I won’t take it.”

so.

you.

“Eat until you do your part. You are still young.”

I will not accept any such help from me.

Help that lifts others up is miserable help.

Help that can satisfy each other on the same line is the most ideal.

Perhaps understanding what I was saying, Hare replied in a spirited voice.

It was the first time he had heard a confident voice from Hare.

“Ah, I see, mister…! I, I will grow up…! Ah, so that I can stand by your side…! I will grow…!”

okay.

Grow while eating well.

I’m sure you’ll be able to grow well like the future at that time.

I stroked Hare’s hair.

‘I’m getting taller… My face doesn’t even look like a child… As for the chest… I don’t think I’ve grown that much.’

If I had to ask, should I say that he resembles a fox?

The body has a slender body suitable for a thief.

I could see that Hare, as seen in the answer sheet, had grown well.

in appearance.

‘I don’t know if the inside has grown well… ‘

Well, if we keep going like this, wouldn’t we be able to serve as a single person at the hero’s party?

I asked Hare, touching my red-hot forehead.

“More than that, Hare. Do you know what the other kids are doing?”

“Eh, Estiya… I’ve been locked up in the room… He suddenly asked for holy water and said he would fight a hunger if he didn’t give it to me… I’m still hungry… I’m screaming for food in 10 minutes… Luna and Saten… I’m not coming out of the room… ”

“… Aren’t you leaving the room?”

“yes… I’m the only one out of the room to help you… ”

For a moment, I wondered if Ha-re had locked up the other children.

There was no way Hare would do such a thing in a mansion that lacked hands.

I put away my doubts.

‘Saten is… It’s been weird since that day… Luna must have been very stressed about that day too.’

I don’t know what Saten is thinking.

Luna was the first to kill a human-like creature.

The shock would have been considerable.

I wanted to go to Luna and Saten right now to check the condition, but…

[quest. quest. quest. Jun-woo, come quickly to the library. Please come to the library quickly.]

[One. Goes to Minerva’s library.]

[2. Shall we go to Minerva’s library?]

What is this problem?

The question of Minerva, whose correct answer is ambiguous, kept floating in the air.

First of all, going to the library seemed to be a priority.

But before that, you have to take care of the children’s meals first.

‘To check the condition of the children… I need to shorten the time a bit… ‘

Entering the kitchen, he said to Hare.

“Hare.”

“Yes, yes… ! Ah, uncle… !”

“Can you help me cook? I think it would be a little difficult by myself.”

“Yes, yes… !! Joe, good… ! If I can help you, it’s fine… !”

Hehe-

With a happy smile, Hare helped with today’s cooking.

A stew mixed with various vegetables and meat and sprinkled with spices.

“I will make the sauce for the stew, hare you cut the vegetables.”

“Yes, yes… !”

The correct proportions of the sauce to be put into the stew are important.

If you add a little more, it will be salty, sour, and sweet.

It’s not balanced, so you have to make the sauce in the right proportions.

So, I entrusted the relatively easy vegetable slicing to Hare…

“Uh-huh… Ah, uncle… No, because of the snow… . You can’t even use a knife properly… Me, the vegetable stuffing and grooming for me… whoops… ”

Hare cried and muttered as she cleaned the vegetables.

There seemed to be a huge misunderstanding.

‘Even if you don’t have one eye, you can still handle vegetables, Hareya’

No, adjusting the proportions is the most difficult thing, Hare.

I asked for help because I didn’t have enough time…

To clear up such a misunderstanding, I explained it to Hare…

“Oh, no… whoops… Never cry because of you… whoops… no… Hey, onions… It’s spicy… ”

“… ”

It’s just that the left eye is gone, but the body is fine.

Watching Hare slicing potatoes and talking about onions.

I decided to stop explaining.

***

“Hey, I’m going out for a while. Take good care of your house.”

“Yes, yes… ! mister… ! Trust me… !”

My dad believed in me!

I’m worried about the blind man, but…

If you wait patiently for your uncle to come, you will surely be praised… !

“Come back carefully, Mister… ”

Quang-

The door closes.

There was silence in the house.

It was a noisy house all the time, but everyone seemed to be in shock after going to the dungeon.

Of course, Hare was also shocked.

“I’m sad too, but… Oh, it’s because you’re having a harder time… ”

Because my uncle is hard…

Nara should help you too…

Hare put up with her sad feelings and decided to help her uncle.

However, since the uncle was gone, it was also difficult to suppress those feelings.

“… If I could be of your help… My uncle’s eyes would have been fine… ”

I couldn’t help you…

So.

I’ll focus on class, and I’ll focus again.

Be strong so that you don’t get hurt.

I will protect you.

“To do that, you have to listen carefully to what Mr. !”

Oh Do Do-

After arriving at the conclusion, Hare ran to the kitchen and put the stew the uncle made on a plate.

To keep my promise to my uncle.

‘I don’t have time, so eat first. I want you to bring the other children’s meals.’

In the old days, I would have hidden them all in my room.

Now I’m different… !

I will never do anything you hate… !

Saying that, Hare picked up the plate and headed to the children’s room.

The first room to go to…

smart-

“Saten, I’ll go in… ? This is the rice my uncle made… ”

Although no answer is heard.

Hare opened Saten’s door.

There was a strange smell that I had smelled for the first time in my life.

“Uh, uh… ! Hey, what is this smell? ?! It’s worse than my old house… ”

Worse than the smell of a ghetto.

What the hell is Saten doing here without answering… ?

“Sigh… !”

Hare held his breath and entered the room.

end of the room.

Saten was sitting at her desk and doing something.

Hare said to Saten in a terrified state, because the atmosphere was unusual.

“What are you doing… Saten… I don’t even answer… W, here is the rice you made… Two, I’ll leave… ?”

“… ”

“Why aren’t you answering me, really! Ah Okay… ! I can’t bring you… !?”

Can’t you just bring it to the desk… !

Hare one step at a time.

I approached Saten, who was sitting in front of the desk.

But, at that moment.

iron puck-

“Uh, uh… ? uh, eh… ?”

Something, I stepped on the floor…

Hare with a popping sound and a sticky texture.

gulp-

‘Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.’

With such self-hypnosis, Hare looked down at what he had stepped on.

on that floor.

Numerous eyeballs were looking at Hare.

Hare started screaming in surprise.

“Uh, uh… ? Kyaa… !!”

uh, what is this… !!

clink-

I got goosebumps all over my body, and I even forgot the uncle’s food that I was holding in my hand.

Hearing that, Saten must have noticed that Hare had entered, so he turned his head to check on Hare.

Hare shouted loudly at Saten.

“Eh, what is this, Saten… !! Whoa, eyes… hee… ! What are all these… !!”

“It is a failure.”

“Uh, what does that mean… !”

“I was going to make your eyes. It’s not made. All of them have no vitality, and will melt after an hour. After all, can’t the eyes made with my blood work?”

Clap- Clap-

Saying that, Saten stepped on the failures on the floor and approached Hare.

Seeing that, Hare realized.

‘Sa, Saten is crazy… It’s crazy… ‘

I have to tell my uncle…

Saten is conducting a strange experiment… !

Hare backed away and tried to leave Saten’s room.

But.

tuk-

Saten’s hands were placed on Hare’s shoulders, preventing her from leaving.

“Hey, let go of this… ! me, i’m going out… !”

“Hare.”
